Research
I provide research support for the College of Arts and Science. I assist faculty, post docs and students with advice, troubleshooting, and repair on a variety of modern biological instruments. I mainly provide support for the life sciences but also work with other researchers in the College. I am part of the new Biodiversity group in the Henry Bellmon Research Building and work with the faculty and students in that lab with technical issues and general lab management. I help researchers install, write scripts, and use phylogenetic and bioinformatic programs on the high performance computers at OSU. I am also the Facility Manager of the new Advanced Infrared Structural Biology Core Facility.
